BLACKSMITHS COMBINATION-TOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 57 5,293, dated January12, 1897. Application filed July 11, 1896. Serial No. 598,793. (Nomodel.)

1'0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, RICHARD .N. Boecs and J osnrn J. Boces, residing atMossy Creek, in the county of White and State of Georgia, have inventeda new and useful Blacksmiths Combination-Tool, of which the following isa specification.

Our invention is in the nature of a combined tool comprising joint tireshrinking and bending devices, a drill, anvil, ordinary vise, pipe-vise,and band-shrinking devices; and such invention primarily has for itsobject to provide a combination of devices of this character of a verysimple and economical construction, in which the several parts arecompactly and adjustably arranged in such a manner as to be easilymanipulated and effectively serve for its intended purpose.

With other objects in view, which will here inafter bespecificallyreferred to, our invention consists in a blacksmiths toolcomprising the peculiar combination and novel arrangement of parts suchas will be first described in detail and then pointed out in theappended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, inwhich Figure 1 is a perspective view of our invention, showing the partsarranged for shrinking tires. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of thecomplete devices, the several parts being in the position shown inFig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.Fig. 4: is a detail side elevation illustrating the manner in which theparts are used for bending tires. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section on theline 5 5 of Fig. 2, the parts be ing adjusted for use as a pipe-vise.Fig. 6 is a detail View of one of the detachable hardy members. Figs. 7and 8 illustrate, respectively, the removable shrinker bed-plate andthecam-lever. Fig. 9 is a view illustrating the manner of connecting theremovable pipevise section to the movable anvil-section, and Fig. 10illustrates in detail one of the removable tire-bending rollshereinafter referred to.

Referring now to the accompanying drawings, in which the same letters ofreference indicate like parts in all the figures, A indicates a suitablebase, upon one end of which is held a fixed anvil-jaw I), while on theother end is mounted the movable anvil-jaw B, such jaw B being held toslide on a longitudinal central guide member A, having undercut portionsa, in which the guide-lips b of the jaw B fit, as clearly shown in Fig.9.

At one end the baseAhas a fixed bearing C, provided with aninternally-threaded screwway 0, through which the screw-shaf t D passes,which shaft has its inner end cl swivelly connected to the anvil-jawB,whileits outer end has a hand-wheel or crank member D, as shown, itbeing obvious that by turning the shaft D in reverse directions theremovable jaw B can be slid back and forth 011 its guides.

By referring now more particularly to Fig. 2 of the drawings it will beseen the fixed jaw B has an offset portion B to accommodate theprojecting pipe-vise jaws E E, which are held spaced apart, so as toadmit of the entrance therebetween of the single pipe-jaw E, secured tothe sliding anvil-j aw B, and thereby admit of such jaws gripping a pipeof very small diameter when necessary.

The jaw E is detachably connected to the jaw B, and for such purpose thesaid jaw B has a chambered portion B and a lower solid extended portion13*, which has a vertical groove 19*, having at the lower end a dovetailportion 12 such grooved portions receiving the rear end of the jaw E,which is also provided with a dovetailed portion 6 to engage thedovetail portion 11 as clearly shown in Fig. 0, such dovetailconnections being provided. to keep the jaw E from pulling out of themember 13, such jaw E when in use being held from pulling upward by theWedge-block F, which enters the chamber B as shown.

The fixed jaw B is formed with side extensions 12 b which are joined bya cross member b to form a chamber B which can be utilized to receivethe bits, the hardy, or other attachments presently referred to.

G indicates a drill-shaft journaled in the inner end of the fixed jaw Band the cross member b the front end projecting out under the clamp-faceof the said jaw B and provided with a bit chuck or socket, while theouter end has a suitable crank g, as shown,

it being manifest by reference to Fig. 2 that the clamp-block is soarranged as to also form the clamp or bearing member for the bit to workagainst.

H indicates a vertical extension secured to the base A or made integralwith the fixed jaw portion B, and which is arranged parallel with thesaid jaw portion B, as clearly shown in Fig. 3. At the inner end thesaid extension H has an apertured bearing 71. to receive the pintle t'of a corrugated roller Z, the inner end of which is journaled in abearing-socket 12 in the jaw 13, the said pintle 7; being extended toreceive a crank Z. (See Fig. 1.) The extension H is also provided withone or more socket-bearin gs h, in which and similar bearings 12 formedin the rear extensions of the anvil-jaw B, is detachably held asmooth-faced roller J. The rollers J and I are held in line with asingle roller K, journaled in a bearing A formed integrally with the jawB. v

The rollers I, J, and K serve as means for bending the tire, it beingmanifest that by passing the tire under the central roller and over theend rollers and adjusting the roll J and moving the anvil-jaw B back andforth such tire-bending means can be set to make a large or small tire.

L L indicate a pair of grip-jaws which are adapted to be detachablysecured to the top of the anvil-jaws B B, they being held securely inposition by the pendent shank portions H, which seat in sockets a a inthe said jaws B B, and the pendent angle portions Z Z, which projectover the clamp edges of such jaws B B, as clearly shown.

M M indicate a pair of clamp or cam levers, each of which consists of asegmental corrugated clamp portion m, a handle member m, and a strongsprin g-wire bail member N,which is eccentrically hung in the camportion 172 and has its ends 11 '21 formed with inturned fingers n,adapted to project under the nose or extended clamp ends of theanvil-jaws, as clearly shown in Fig. 1.

0 indicates one of the liar-dies, which are adapted to fit the socketsin the top of the a11- vil-jaws when the grip members are removed.

The manner in which the tire-shrinking devices are used will be clearlyunderstood by reference to Fig. 1. It will be observed that as the tireis gripped between the serrated faces of the members L and M theserrations or teeth will bite the tire as it is being shrunk, it beingmanifest that, as the tire is firmly gripped, by moving up the jaw B andhammering the tire at the points a: a: will create a kink in the tireand thereby make it shorter without cutting it, thereby avoiding one ofthe greatest troubles there is in the operation of shrinking tires ofany kind. It should be stated that a block of Wood or metal can beplaced on the member L above the point :0 and under the tire when it isdesired to hammer it while red-hot at this point.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, it is thought the advantages and completeoperation will be readily apparent.

Our invention combines a series of tools such as is now required in awell-equipped blacksmith-shop, combined in such a manner as to take up aminimum amount of space and admit of an easy and effective operation.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is
